Change is the only constant. You could see it as a new opportunity; A new door opening for you to learn and grow as a person.

5. The Universe is Change

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

3. You're in Control

We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

4. Don't care about People

Our ability to reason is what sets us apart from the animals and is an important power that we must use to the fullest.

2. Our Greatest Asset

Forget what other people are doing, forget what they're doing wrong. You've got enough on your plate. Focus on yourself-focus on what you might be doing wrong. Fix that.

Meditations (Medieval Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis he'auton, lit. 'things to one's self') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.
